Performance™ Faux Wood Blinds with SmartPrivacy™ by Norman® Window Fashions. These blinds feature maximum privacy, eliminate route holes, have a streamlined profile, and offer tighter closures both ways (up or down). Each slat is secured individually for the best durability, and the cords are both child and animal safe with their safe cord release system. The valance is sleek and streamlined and the bottom is built to last, especially built to resist bowing — even on extremely wide blinds.
